20" lightning rims & 3/4" drop

Ok im thinking about buying a set of the lightning 20" rims with 295-40-20 goodyear HP ultra tires for around 2500 from the wheel exhange on the net, or i might try catching a deal from AAA rims(but those prices dont include mounted and balancing fees),
However i can get the 20" lightning rims with the same exact tires
mounted and balanced for around 2650. Which would be the better deal or you guys know any other places, And another thing what would be best drop does lightning look good and ride good with a 3/4 inch drop , any suggestions pls tell me

Thumbs up my KMC with 3/4 drop

Here r 2 pics of my KMC 20" Thunder with Belltech 3/4 droped.

I use Pirelli Scorpion zero 295/40/20...they r pretty good but kinda pricey...

If you r gonna use 3/4 drop I suggest change the stock bilstein shocks. Mine were leaking after 8k mile.
Get QA1 12 adjustable shocks!!! Pricey but worth every penny!!

I just bought the same tires and wheels that you are talking about for under
Got the 20" PAINTED replicas from Classic Motorsports for $1,065 shipped including locking lug nuts.
Got the 295/40/20 Goodyears from Tire Rack for about $687 shipped.

So why don't you do what I did and pay only $1,750 and pay your local tire shop about $40 to mount and balance them.
If you want the chrome wheels I believe there about $600 extra, so your looking at $2,350 total.
